The Science Program occasionally conducts or participates in workshops, symposia, and conferences.
Project managers are thrilled to once again receive a Friends of the Estuary Outstanding Environmental Project Award at San Francisco Estuary Partnership's State of the Estuary Conference, this time for our Phase 2 Ravenswood restoration on the shores of Menlo Park!
Project managers are proud to have received the Friends of the Estuary Outstanding Environmental Project award at this year’s conference for our Phase 1 habitat and recreation work. The ten years of work improved 3,750 acres of habitat and created 7 miles of new trails, among other recreation improvements. As a result, endangered species and native fish are already using restored areas, and we are seeing increased dabbling ducks and nesting shorebirds in enhanced ponds. Visitors are walking, biking and kayaking in new areas.
This seminar was targeted toward researchers and scientists working in the south San Francisco Bay to better understand NOAA CO-OPS vertical datums information. Marti Ikehara, the CA State Geodetic Advisor for NOAA/NOS/NGS presented the seminar. The seminar was 2 hours and interactive with questions and answers. The purpose of the seminar was for researchers and scientists to have a clear understanding of the vertical datums and water level data on the NOAA CO-OPS website, and to understand how to read, and how not to read, the CO-OPS materials available on their website.

The goal of the Science Program is to bring the best and most relevant science to decision-makers and the public in a timely fashion.
